The cut, it never really heals

Just enough to stop the bleed

And you won't get the girl you want

But you'll get the girl you need.

Mother, mother

I'll admit that I was angry for too long

How I wish I had more power

Oh, yeah...

How I wish I had more power.

People talking like they're gods

But that's just not the deal

If you want to keep the things you love

Then you'd better learn to kneel.

Father, father

I can see so many things now that you're gone

How I wish I had more power

Oh, yeah...

How I wish I had more power.

How I wish I had more power

How I wish I had more power

How I wish I had more power

You're never alone

How I wish I had more power.

The cut, it never really heals

Just enough to stop the bleed

And you won't get the girl you want

But you'll get the girl you need.

Mother, mother

I'll admit that I was angry for too long

How I wish I had more power

Oh, yeah...

How I wish I had more power.

This is what you came for

Is this what you came for?

This is what you came for

Is this what you came for? yeah...
